Ukraine-Türkiye free trade agreement takes effect
The Free Trade Agreement between the Government of Ukraine and the Government of the Republic of Türkiye, which provides for exemption from duties or the application of reduced rates, entered into force on October 1, the State Customs Service (SCS) said on its Telegram channel.
The Free Trade Agreement between Ukraine and Türkiye officially went into effect on October 1, according to the State Customs Service (SCS) of Ukraine. This agreement, signed in Kyiv on February 3, 2022, and ratified by a Ukrainian law on July 14, 2026, aims to exempt duties or apply reduced rates on various goods traded between the two countries.
The SCS highlighted that the tariff preferences under the agreement will commence at different times, with Ukrainian exports to Türkiye benefiting from preferential treatment starting October 1, 2026, while imports of Turkish-origin goods into Ukraine will enjoy the same benefits from January 1, 2027. To qualify for these preferential rates, exporters must provide proof of origin, using documents such as a EUR.1 movement certificate or a declaration of origin.
The departmental customs classifier identifies specific codes for these purposes, including 0954 for EUR.1 movement certificates, 7012 for declarations of origin by approved exporters, and 7016 for declarations of origin for smaller consignments.
